Do the AP writers live in cave, “dry conditions” and wildfires clearly not a concern in New England! Written out of Steins basement
FROM THE NEWSROOM: (AP) Officials are urging caution at cookouts and campsites this holiday weekend to tamp down wildfires in New England. Forest rangers asked campers to make sure their campfires are fully extinguished before leaving them. They also urged people to obey open burning laws and to obtain permits before burning brush. Dry conditions are contributing to fires and persisting despite the showery forecast this weekend. The drought monitor released on Thursday showed parts of New Hampshire and Vermont are already in a moderate drought while most of Maine is “abnormally dry.”
